Rahu · Tula
Swati
the one who needs room to move
your blueprint
You bend before you break, and you'd rather bend out of the way entirely. Swati moon is ruled by Vayu, the wind — adaptable, quick, independent almost to a fault. Rahu adds a restless edge: you want your own space, your own pace, your own say in things, even in relationships you're fully committed to. You're diplomatic and easy to get along with, right up until someone tries to box you in. The shadow is mistaking every commitment for a cage. Your growth is finding freedom inside connection, not instead of it.
